confined, they found the condition of the
inmates rs good as could be expected,
the patients being we'll fed and clothed
and humanely treated We would &C.
cord great credit to the present contrac-
tors for the excellent manner in which
they have conducted the institution, but
your committee would earenstly recon-
mend that arrangements be made at the
earliest practicable date for the care and
safe keeping by the territory Of its in
sane, the committee being of the opinion
that under the contract system they can.
not receive that attention and care which
the territory could give them in an in
stitution of its own. HOLIDAY,

Holiday, from the special committee
appointed to examine the insane asylum
and penitentiary, made the following re-
port:
Mr.. President:-We, your special com.
mittee to inspect the penitentiary and
insane asylum found the penitentiary at
Deer Lodge to be conducted in credlta-
BILE and humane manner. the prisoners
with whom we conversed being of one
opinion as to their treatment being hum
an, yet firm and unflinching. The cells,
both inside and out, were neat and clean,
yet somewhat small to accommodate two
prisoners each; their food is healthy and
abundant, vet the culinary facilities are
inadequate for the necessities and yonr
committee would suggest that more
ample provisions in that respect be i'm
mediately made. Their clothing and
bedding are comfortable and warm, and
the inmates in their unfortunate and
isolated condition pass their time read
ing choice books and papers kindly fur
nished them by the marshal We do not
think the sanitary condition of the in.
stitution is what ii should be, recon-
mened that provisions be made for plac-
ing traps in the cells for sanitary use.
